Planned Parenthood's new Dallas abortion clinic to comply with stricter state law

Planned Parenthood will open a new abortion clinic next month in Dallas that it says will meet the structural standards of an ambulatory surgical center, as required under a tougher state law.

In September, all Texas abortion clinics have to comply with additional standards, including for specific room and doorway sizes, air sterilization systems, backup generators, blood supplies and male and female locker rooms.

Including the Dallas clinic, seven of the 21 abortion clinics operating in the state meet the requirements.
